The Kelowna Golf and Country Club utilizes Golf Genius for Tournament Administration and Scoring. Players are encouraged to download the App or utilize a web browser and the Golf Genius website to access the Tournament web portal. Please use the GGID “KGCCSMI23” to enter the site where you can view pairings, scores and results. It is our goal to have 1 player in each group enter the group scores in Golf Genius during the course of play so that we may have up to the minute scoring available in the Pergola and online. Paper scorecards will still be utilized as the official scoring method. Should you need any assistance with this, feel free to contact Rob Anderson, Jason Jurimae or Chad Selk in the KGCC Golf Shop. The portal will be available as of Monday, June 12th.
